How to Make a Deposit

Before you start trading, you’ll need to make your first deposit into your trading account. There are two methods traders can choose from to deposit funds: Bitcoin and Bitcoin via wire transfer or credit/debit card.

Once you log in to the LonghornFX platform, you may proceed to submit a deposit through your user dashboard. In order to submit a Bitcoin deposit, please click on the ‘Bitcoin’ deposit method. Next, select the currency in which you want to deposit and then the amount you wish to send. Click 'Deposit'.

You will soon be redirected to another page, containing a Bitcoin address. You may use this address as the destination to which you would send your desired amount of Bitcoin. Once your funds are received, they will appear in your trading account automatically. Please be aware that this address will be valid for 15 minutes only. If that timeframe is exceeded, you will need to submit a new Bitcoin deposit request and receive a new Bitcoin address. The minimum deposit in Bitcoin is $10.

Alternatively, you may wish to buy Bitcoin from a third party using a credit/debit card or bank transfer. To do so, you will need to select your chosen deposit method, the currency in which you want to deposit and the amount you wish to send. Upon clicking ‘Deposit’, you will be redirected to the third-party login page, where you can proceed either to sign up or make your transaction.

You are now ready to make a deposit and open your first trade!
